Los Angeles Lakers star forward A.C. Green was famed for preaching abstinence to the rest of the team. "What was A.C.'s vice?" Magic Johnson was asked one day. "Jheri Curl and working out -- that was his thing," Magic replied. "He once got so much grease on the balls that Pat Riley had to call off practice!"

["That's a true story! He had just had his hair done, and it was just too much -- running everywhere. Just too greasy. We couldn't handle it. We made fun of him. You don't let up on a guy for something like that."]

[Green played in more consecutive games than any other player in NBA history.]
